Zero Energy Houses, Bucharest  
Location : RoGBC office, str Ialomicioarei, no 21, disctrict 1, Bucharest
From: Thursday 20 June 2013, 09:00
To: Thursday 20 June 2013, 16:30

Topics discussed:

What will the house of the future look like?
Can we live without utility companies?
Can a house be an energy harvesting machine?  
Can we improve our lifestyle and cut CO2 emissions.

Sustainable development means meeting “the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’ yet a quarter of Europe’s CO2 comes from the energy used to heat, light and operate homes.  

Energy use can be measured in terms of cost, energy, or carbon emissions.  Whatever measure is used we need to minimise energy consumption.  If applied correctly renewable energy technology can work – but only just.  Incorporating passive energy technology has to have a fundamental influence on design.

This course is an optional course for those seeking the "Romania Green Building Professional" certification.
